Martin Horwood, MP for Cheltenham, has today declared his allegiance to the Queen in Parliament. The affirmation has legal effect and Members who have not taken it are unable to sit during any debate or vote in a division, or they will lose their seat.
Martin affirmed ‘I Martin Horwood do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm, That I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law.’
Martin said ‘I am delighted to officially resume my seat in Parliament today. It has been a real honour to serve the people of Cheltenham for the last five years and I am looking forward to doing so once again.’
